The division was a pre-war, first line, Territorial Army formation. It landed at Salerno in Italy on 9 September 1943, having come from Libya, with the 167th Infantry Brigade, 169th Infantry Brigade and 201st (Guards) Infantry Brigade under command. It was involved in the battles to recapture Naples in September 1943, the Volturno Crossing in October 1943, and Monte Camino in November and December 1943. In January 1944, it was involved in the battles for the Garigliano Crossing. As the position at Anzio deteriorated, the division was transferred from X Corps to the U.S. VI Corps at Anzio. It was withdrawn from Anzio to Egypt on 28 March 1944 to refit. This is the order of battle for this division in this period from September 1943 to February 1944. 2. This brigade left division on 9 April 1943. Initially it became an independent infantry brigade under the command of XIII Corps in Egypt. The brigade group comprised: 168th (London) Infantry Brigade Headquarters, 168th Infantry Brigade, Signal Section & Light Aid Detachment 1st Bn. The London Irish Rifles 1st Bn. The London Scottish 10th Bn. The Royal Berkshire Regiment (Princess Charlotte of Wales’s) 90th (City of London) Field Regiment, Royal Artillery 501st Field Company, Royal Engineers 514th Company, Royal Army Service Corps 168th Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps On 29 May 1943, the brigade came under the command of the 50th Infantry Division. With this division, it took part in the invasion of Sicily on 13 July 1943, fighting with that formation throughout the campaign. The 50th Infantry Division left the Mediterranean in October 1943 to return to the United Kingdom. The 168th Infantry Brigade rejoined this division on 17 October 1943, following the battle for Salerno. This brigade was detached from the division on 30 January 1944 and landed at Anzio on 3 February 1944 to come under command of the 1st Infantry Division. © www.BritishMilitaryH istory.co.uk Page 4 28 November 2019 [56 (LONDON) INFANTRY DIVISION (1943-45)] 3. In the absence of the 168th Infantry Brigade, this formation joined the division on 23 July 1943 as third brigade. It had been an independent brigade in the campaigns in Egypt and Libya. The brigade fought with the division during the battle for Salerno. When the 168th Infantry Brigade returned to the command of the division on 17 October 1943, this brigade remained under the command of the division, giving it four infantry brigades. The brigade fought in the battle of the River Garigliano, but officially left the division on 3 January 1943, passing to the command of X Corps. It was then attached to the 5th Infantry Division on 6 January 1944 until 2 March 1944. In March 1944, due to the heavy casualties sustained by the brigade, and the lack of reinforcements to sustain three Guards brigades on active duty in Italy, this formation was reorganised. The 3rd Bn. Coldstream Guards transferred to the 24th Infantry Brigade (Guards), being replaced by the 1st Bn. Irish Guards from that brigade. The 6th Bn. Grenadier Guards, 2nd Bn. Scots Guards and 1st Bn. Irish Guards were all reduced to cadres, sailing for the United Kingdom on 10 April 1944. On its return to the United Kingdom, the formation assumed the role of training brigade for the entire Brigade of Guards. 4. This regiment transferred into the division on 8 March 1943, replacing the 56th Regiment, Reconnaissance Corps, which had transferred to the 78th Infantry Division. On 11 January 1944, this regiment transferred to the Royal Armoured Corps and was redesignated: 44th Reconnaissance Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps. 5. Transferring to this division on 12 January 1943, this unit had the role of divisional machine gun battalion. 6. This regiment joined the division on 23 April 1943, on the division’s arrival in North Africa. The regiment began the war as part of the 44th Infantry Division, but transferred to the 50th Infantry Division in November 1942. It transferred from the 50th Infantry Division to this division, with which it served until the end of the war. 7. This field company was part of the 201st Guards Infantry Brigade Group. It joined the division on 9 July 1943 and left with its host brigade on 3 January 1944. 8. Serving with the 168th Infantry Brigade, this field company was detached from the division to serve with the 168th Infantry Brigade in 50th Infantry Division from 18 March 1943 until rejoining this division on 13 October 1943. © www.BritishMilitaryH istory.co.uk Page 5 28 November 2019 [56 (LONDON) INFANTRY DIVISION (1943-45)] th 56 (London) Infantry Division (1) 167th (London) Infantry Brigade 8th (1st City of London) Bn.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-19480-8 - Armies of Empire: The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939-1945 Allan Converse Frontmatter More information Armies of Empire The 9th Australian and 50th British Divisions in Battle 1939–1945 Armies of Empire uniquely reflects upon the experience of two divisions from different armies facing similar challenges in the Second World War. The 9th Australian Division and the British 50th (Northumbrian) Division both saw long service and suffered heavy casualties, and both encountered morale, discipline and battlefield effectiveness problems. In this illuminating, comparative study of Australian and British divisions at war, Allan Converse draws extensively on primary sources as well as recent scholarship on morale and combat efficiency. His fresh approach questions the popular mythology surrounding the Australian Digger and the British Tommy, and shows how it was a combination of leadership, loyalty and tactics, rather than intrinsic national qualities, which resulted in victory for Churchill’s armies.

  • TWICE a CITIZEN Celebrating a Century of Service by the Territorial Army in London
    TWICE A CITIZEN Celebrating a century of service by the Territorial Army in London www.TA100.co.uk The Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Association for Greater London Twice a Citizen “Every Territorial is twice a citizen, once when he does his ordinary job and the second time when he dons his uniform and plays his part in defence.” This booklet has been produced as a souvenir of the celebrations for the Centenary of the Territorial Field Marshal William Joseph Slim, Army in London. It should be remembered that at the time of the formation of the Rifle Volunteers 1st Viscount Slim, KG, GCB, GCMG, GCVO, GBE, DSO, MC in 1859, there was no County of London, only the City. Surrey and Kent extended to the south bank of the Thames, Middlesex lay on the north bank and Essex bordered the City on the east. Consequently, units raised in what later became the County of London bore their old county names. Readers will learn that Londoners have much to be proud of in their long history of volunteer service to the nation in its hours of need. From the Boer War in South Africa and two World Wars to the various conflicts in more recent times in The Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan, London Volunteers and Territorials have stood together and fought alongside their Regular comrades. Some have won Britain’s highest award for valour - the Victoria Cross - and countless others have won gallantry awards and many have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their country. This booklet may be recognised as a tribute to all London Territorials who have served in the past, to those who are currently serving and to those who will no doubt serve in the years to come.
